I am currently super satisfied with Kimi K2.6 and Minimax M3, the quality is great, pricing is low and usage is enormous.

I am however always looking for better deals. I am a power user and use billions of tokens a month. The agents run almost 24/7, sometimes more than one.

What do you use for agentic coding?

I use Kimi K2.6 and Minimax 3. Both are mainly due to pricing.

I got 6 months of Google Pro from buying my new phone, so I use Gemini Pro 3.1 and Gemini 3 Flash quite a bit, but don't think it does too well compared to Kimi and Minimax.

I use Opus 4.6 as I get some usage from Google Pro, but it's just like 1 task or something.

It is obviously the best, but considering the usage is extremely expensive, and I can use Kimi and Minimax almost 100x as much with a subscription. It kinda becomes a worse model. I'd rather Kimi working really long on a problem, than a slightly more powerful model with almost no usage. I can get a lot more done with high quality results from Kimi due to this.

What models are you using, and why?

(Sorry of discussions are not allowed in this community)

It just reliably works for me and family that are not Linux people. Sure, other distros have specialized uses, but many are just lots of meaningless work.

I am a tech lead and have >10y experience, so I can handle Linux perfectly fine. Does not prove my opinion right though. I just think most distros is a waste of time to use and configure. My OS is not something I want to fix or actively maintain, like ever. I just want to do stuff and play games. Mint lets me do that, without having to fix stuff.

I have tried lots of distros and every single one is more work, except maybe Ubuntu. Most users don't want to maintain their OS, most Linux users at the moment? Maybe.

Yes, always being at the forefront of all software through Arch or another rolling distro is cool, it also means that you might be using less reliable software. Fedora is great in many respects, it is just less flexible. Yes, ostree is cool.

Its just that those things is for those who WANT to tinker with their OS. In the future more of the great stuff will be implemented in Linux Mint, but til then, why bother? (Unless you find joy in it)

We should stop recommending other distros to regular people.

TL;DR People just want an OS that works, not another project. Lets stop recommending all kinds of distros, just go for Mint.

Also, I am trying to create a discussion here, not 100% my opinion.
